Fantastic to see a new independent greengrocer opening in Dawlish today. It's the return of a great local resource after losing Stokes a few years ago. USE IT OR LOSE IT folks!
Pretty sound advice Don. These days when I feel inclined to rant in print because something has made me furious, I sit at my keyboard giving full vent to my rage (surely we've all been there?). Then I save the file and come back to it the next day. By that time the rage has abated and more often than not I can see how ridiculous it sounds or how my rage has obscured the real point. If I stil feel ...
Who knows, 1263? But with a little effort and good will............
I am bound to say that I am surprised and not a little heartened by the responses to my posts. My somewhat pessimistic expectation was that they would be received with a tirade of abuse. (I like the humour in your second post by the way). That said, hands up, full confession, even Iv’e done a little ranting in my time though you would not need all the fingers of one hand to count the ...
You’re absolutely right of course. I should not be wasting my life trying to make points by posting puerile attempts at ironic humour. After all, I must have squandered hours on those 7 posts in the last 8 years. Mind you, I see there are some who have made well over 1200 posts but I guess I could learn from their more adult, calm and thoughtful efforts such as: “ Lobotomy Dems” (1263 ...
It's called irony. Someone will explain it to you when you're grown ups............
I would like to introduce readers to our “More on…” series of handy guides providing more information on topics of current concern or interest. Our most recent “More on…” guide concerns social distancing outside the home. Here is an extract: Social Distancing Outside the Home The chances of passing on Covid 19 in the open air are small. However, to protect your friends and ...
All last night there was thumping music and we had to close bedroom window. Could be heard in Badlake / Empsons area and seems to be coming from Dawlish Water direction. Still going on at 9:20am. Given how sound carries, particularly overnight I guess it could be anywhere. Anyone know anything about it?
Walked to the Warren yesterday. On the way back (at about lunchtime) between the Marina and 2n'4 we counted 57 cyclists. Four of them were using the cycle path (in my experience an unusually high number). Theremaining 53 were in gaggles (some 2 or 3 abreast) or riding individually on the road causing tailbacks of crawling traffic. The ones using the cycle path looked like locals whereas all the ...
An early riser, I yet again found myself in the darkness gazing enviously into town, across to the Bartons, Coronation and Oaklands, all ablaze with electric light. Yet again, the north of the town has been plunged into pre-industrial, electricity-free blankness. Last year it was the snow; last night it was the wind, no doubt. This is something we expect at least once a year as our supply on this ...
